Well, I’ve changed my mind…and just since my last posting! I am now of a mind we (believers) should not celebrate Christmas…AT ALL! Now before you respond with less than kind words, let me offer my reasoning. I am getting tired of the non-believers whining that to have a religious display on public property violates their rights. Am I missing something…I have never felt violated by the sight of a menorah! I am also getting tired of people spouting that these religious images are unlawful on public property because of the separation of Church and State clause…presumably in the Constitution. The phrase came from letters Thomas Jefferson penned; it is not from the Declaration of Independence or from the Preamble to the Constitution, or from the Constitution itself. My prayer is that God would at least help them get their facts straight! I now think if all Christians stopped celebrating Christmas TOTALLY, within two months they would beg us to celebrate and offer to put nativity scenes anywhere/everywhere we wanted. Think of the revenue lost to merchants during Christmas if we stopped celebrating. Think of the tax revenue lost to cities, counties, and state governments just from the loss of sales taxes on the items we did not purchase…not to mention the taxes generated from travel. If we (believers) would only stand together Christ could again be the focus of Christmas…but then if we could stand together there might not be thousands of Christian denominations around the world would there? Well, until that day, Happy Holidays MERRY CHRISTMAS!

You are so funny but sadly this is so true. Form the line and I'll be right behind you. Mean time, every place I do business when I complete my transaction the employee gets a "Merry Christmas" from me! Most of the time, I get "Merry Christmas" back.
